Is the reverse of “Everything which has a beginning must have an end.” also true?

When we see with an eye of Dhamma , we realise that that which has a beginning must have an end because birth is conditional. (I am using Bhikkhu Sujata’s translation of SN 35.74 ) If we reverse the Truth then is it true that that which has an end must have had a beginning? PS: To clarify , I share an example, suppose a candle light is put off then can we conclude that sometime in the past the candle was lit? It was not always burning.
